TT Xview, anyone know where I can get a second acrylic cover or something similar?

Hey guys I'm about to get the Thermal Take Xview but because I have a Antec case with a door I can't install it in a bay. Instead I'm going to install both of the EL strips on the front of my case vertically, one on each side of the front vents. I need a second acrylic cover for the second strip, or two of some other material I can get somewhere so I can match them. It's going to look cool, I already have 2 4x20 LCD's installed in the front door! I'll post pictures when all this is done.

If the cover is not sold seperately maybe you guys would suggest an alternative? Maybe something you can get at a hardware store maybe? I'm pretty new to modding and don't have experience playing with clear plastic stuff ;). I would prefer if it were clear colored like the origonal cover, I like the blue look hehe :).

Here's a picture of the thing:

I think I remember it coming with several other strips of the clear acrylic that could be printed on using a normal color printer. Maybe I'm hallucinating though.

he's talking about the cover, not the colored strip...

and sorry, i cant help. I would say contact thermaltake and tell em you need a new one cause the old one cracked, maybe you'll get it free. if not, just buy one off em.

Good idea WejRepus, I'll try doing that.

I just bought the Xview. Everything seems pretty high quality built but the connection between the wires and the EL strip is a litle flimsy, it could break easily. My acrylic cover looked like it was a bit dirty so I washed it but it just won't come off. It's not a big deal but you can see it when you look at an angel.

I'll try to install them tomorrow vertically in the front of my case but I wish I could do it horizontally. Those horizontal pictures they give you on the CD looks really nice, the vertical ones are ok. I'll try to search later for more.

Oh, sorry. My bad. Try and get an RMA?
